A cafe's phone is busiest from 7 to 10 in the morning, exactly when the espresso line is longest, and the calls that ring out include catering inquiries worth $150 to $500 each. Siya answers every call in one ring, handles hours-and-menu questions instantly, captures catering and custom cake details in full, and puts pickup orders on your board, from $19 per month.
"Are you open today?" "Do you have gluten-free?" "Can I get 3 dozen croissants for Friday?" The questions are simple, but they land during the rush, and a barista mid-pour cannot take a catering headcount.
The expensive part is invisible. The office manager pricing a 30-person breakfast calls three bakeries and books the first one that answers. Custom cake orders work the same way: dates, sizes, fillings, and inscriptions all need writing down correctly the first time, not scribbled on a pastry bag between customers.
And the caller who reaches voicemail rarely tries again: by the widely cited industry estimate, about 85% simply move to the next place on the list. A single missed catering call can outweigh a whole day of counter sales; see the damage in the missed-call calculator.
Every feature below is included on every plan, from the $19 Starter up.
Siya answers the questions that eat your mornings - open today, parking, gluten-free options, holiday hours - instantly and correctly, from your menu and knowledge base.
Date, headcount, dietary needs, budget, callback number: Siya takes it all down in a clear message, flags it urgent when the event is close, and transfers to you when the caller wants to talk details now.
Flavor, size, filling, inscription, pickup date, all in one structured message with a callback number, so you confirm the price and the details instead of deciphering a note.
Phone orders for pickup land on the live order board with printable tickets, and repeat-caller memory greets your regulars and remembers their usual.
Siya switches automatically when a caller speaks Spanish, French, Mandarin, or 100+ other languages, then switches back. Included on every plan.
Robocalls and telemarketers never reach the bar. Real calls that need a human are transferred to your counter or cell under rules you set.
Straight talk: AskSiya does not push orders into your POS yet. Pickup orders land on the dashboard order board with printable tickets, and catering and cake inquiries arrive as detailed messages for you to confirm. Every feature is on every plan from $19/month.

She collects the event date, headcount, dietary needs, budget range, and a callback number into one structured message, flags it urgent when the event is close, and can transfer the call straight to you if the caller wants to talk details immediately.
She captures every detail - flavor, size, filling, inscription, pickup date - as a message with a callback number so you can confirm pricing and feasibility before it is final. Simple pickup orders from your regular menu go straight onto the order board.
Yes. Conditional call forwarding sends Siya only the calls you cannot take: forward on busy or no answer, on a schedule, or after close. Answer the phone yourself whenever you want and nothing changes.
Not yet. Pickup orders land on the dashboard order board with printable tickets, and inquiries arrive as messages with full transcripts attached. Most counters run the board on a tablet or laptop beside the register.
Most cafes fit the $19/month Starter plan with 60 minutes of calls; $79 buys 200 minutes and $199 buys 600. Every feature is on every plan and the 7-day trial needs no card. One landed catering order can cover months of the subscription.
